For Baltimore detective Mark Banning it starts out as a typical missing persons case: a man seeks his help in finding his daughter who disappeared after meeting with a man she met online. Mark enlists the assistance of his police detective friend Ed Taylor in the case. When the search results in finding the dead bodies of the girl, the man she met online, and the father as well, it becomes much more than that.
